Plot

Act I

Telemarketer Betsy Cowland lives a lonely life spending her days annoying others with her cold calls and talking to her many plants while watering them. She is overweight and lets her weight loss attempts fully consume her life; however, she can’t stop herself from eating junk food in occasional binges.

While working one day, Betsy searches the phone book and sees an ad for WeightAway, a guaranteed weight loss product. As she feigns mild interest, her phone rings. Shocked that someone would call her, she picks up and finds out it’s a representative from WeightAway. He wastes no time selling her on a guaranteed weight loss as well as informing her a package is already on the way. He hangs up before she gets a single word in.

Act II

A few days later, a small package is delivered to a suspicious Betsy. She opens it up and finds a note from WeightAway congratulating her on being one of the first customers of the revolutionary product. The product is a hearing aid, and she is instructed to put it in before every meal.

68504477-6BB3-4730-8BAE-FB341C613875 — Date night.

Betsy gets a call from Elmo Shroud, a high school sweetheart of hers who is in town this weekend. He asks her out to dinner; while hesitant, she says yes. Later that night, she puts on her favorite dress but vents frustration (towards her plants) since it is nowtoo small. Elmo, who’s shown to be an average looking guy, comes in and comments on her different looks. They go out for Mexican food, where Betsy talks extensively on the several weight loss methods she has tried — everything from water diet to stapling her ear lobes to suction pants. She has even considered liposuction but finds it to be expensive. This talk unsettles Elmo, but he still finds her attractive regardless. When he leaves to take a phone call, Betsy puts her hearing aid in. Within seconds, she hears gut-wrenching screams all around the restaurant. She slowly starts to realize they are coming from each food item being consumed. Elmo comes back and starts cutting into his enchiladas, which scream bloody murder. Betsy can’t take watching him eat and eventually passes out at her seat.

Elmo brings Betsy home and shows genuine concern for her; she only apologizes for embarrassing him. He wants to call her a doctor, but she assures him she’s fine. While making his exit, he gives Betsy a package he found on her doorstep. She opens it after he leaves and finds WeightAway has now sent her special glasses. She puts them on and is horrified to find an apple, banana, and pear on the kitchen table have become sentient beings. They beg her not to eat them.
